An icon as a reward for hitting mastery level X on a champion.

One thing I've noticed is the growing trend of player icons featuring portraits of various champions, either to accompany a new skin or event, and that's really great, I enjoy being able to rep for some of my favorite champions, Karma and Kassadin with the Conqueror Karma or Cosmic Reaver Kassadin ones for example. And while maybe, eventually, all champions will get their own icons in due time, right now, many don't, and that's totally understandable. From that stemmed my idea:

When you hit a certain mastery level on any champion, like mastery level 7 (or 8!), what if you'd reward people with an exclusive icon featuring the portrait of the classic skin for said champion (be it a crop of their splash art similar to the icons on the minimap or a completely original piece, personally I'd prefer the later but that wouldn't be my job to decide on that), only obtainable through achieving the mastery? Something cool that could accompany it would be the profile background/banner being set to the champion on the icon you're using rather than a champion you've been playing a lot recently.

there's been posts like this and i always say this, do you see the enemies mastery 7 when in the loading screen? no. because there's a reason for it, mind games. if you see a rank 7 riven you'll know she won't be new to them. now imagine seeing a riven with that icon? there ya go it's literally the same as showing they have a rank 7

Its super weird they never did this when its actually the laziest thing they could add, just copy past the clipped icons from the splash art they made. And people really appreciate it too especially the one tricks. In fact I've seen this suggestion several times since masteries have been released. shrug

Hey guys. While I hate to be the one to do this because everyone's really passionate about this sort of thing, this thread would be better off in Concepts & Creations or Miscellaneous. (You've done nothing wrong! It's just the wrong board for this)

This board is mostly for discussing:

  • League lore, backstory and writing directly from Riot/related to Riot's canonical lore.
  • Music and themes Riot makes.
  • The art of League such as splash arts, canonical drawings and more.

I'm going to lock this for now and will remove it later, although I wish I could just put this thread in a nice little car and move it to the other subsection. I still strongly encourage you to make this post in the other forums however, as this is something that I'm extremely passionate about as well.

Also, if you want to talk more about this (or just give me an earful), I'm on the discord and will be here if you ever want to talk about this.
